He jumps in and helps out almost every time i am out there. I tell him do as much as you can, and when your tired its ok to tell me. He is only 6 after all. I would spend all day out there. Stripping paint and rusty ****, and getting it somewhst smooth and in primer is time consuming hard work thats overwhelming for even some adults let alone a 6 year old, so i understand that. You will get there too Dan. This project was 4 years in the making. 4 years of waiting until i had the pieces, the time, and the space to work on it. Big thing being the time. Thank God my friend was willing to let me store it under a carport at his place in full view of interstate 20, and endure almost daily enquiries about selling it. Now he has a barn fresh 68 chevelle 2 door hardtop that i would equally love to have sitting my shop. Its sitting in the same spot my cuda was, in full view of i-20. He will have to fend off almost daily enquiries about its sale now too lol.
I have a full shop now. My 67, the 69, and a 1988 daytona shelby turbo ll t top car stuffed in the corner with boxes of sheetmetal piled on it. As a side note, he loves the "manual crank windows" LoL!! I am going to teach him that simple and no wires or switches is sometimes better. He says he wants to fix airplanes like me when he grows up. Easy enough, we have an aviation mtx mechanic school right on the airport. If he wants to do that when he is older, i can prob get him a job where i work.
